Chapel Hill News, The Durham News community papers to change

Starting next week, The News & Observer’s 10 free community papers, including the Chapel Hill News and The Durham News, will change.

On Wednesdays, the papers will contain coverage about food and dining. On Sundays, the papers will focus on news, features and sports stories from around the region.

Because the articles in the Wednesday and Sunday community papers will have been published previously in print and/or online, most subscribers will not receive a community paper.

The N&O’s community papers have a proud history. But in today’s 24-hour news cycle, twice-weekly community papers can no longer provide news and information in a way that matches how readers consume news.

Digital Access for only $0.99

The editorial and advertising staffs of the Chapel Hill News and The Durham News have joined The Herald-Sun (www.heraldsun.com), which will be the primary newspaper in the Triangle for local news from Durham, Orange and northern Chatham counties.
